Well the main news to report is that Josie is head down. The local midwife has seen me over the past month a couple of times because in her words, she 'couldn't tell if the baby was head down and simply has a very pert bottom or was breech'. I had a scan today and she's fine. The midwife projected Josie to come out at 6ilbs 8 oz. so we'll wait and see how accurate that is.
Alfie is doing fine. The arrival of his baby sister will no doubt be a complete shock to his world, especially as he has taken to riding his bike out the back and shouting into the house 'hey, everyone, come out and see me!'. He has had a lot of well-deserved 1:1 and 2:1 attention over the past 3 years. Luckily, he has a kind nature.
He got new shoes over the weekend. Unfortunately, he had a few toileting accidents yesterday at nursery and his shoes were still damp this morning. I gave him a choice of wellies or crocs and he complained that both were too quiet. He wanted to wear his new shoes because they make quite a bit more noise....crafty chappy!
Bert's work is going well but has not been overwhelming, meaning that he is able to help out with Alf as I get bigger and slower.
We'll post some photos soon and then make sure we let you all know once Josephine is here safe and sound.
